ScholarOne Manuscripts

Integrity checks at every step of peer review, inside ScholarOne.

ReviewerZero checks the manuscript at submission, the reviewers when they are invited, their reports when they arrive, and the authors' revisions when they return. Journals also get the other checks on the ReviewerZero platform and choose which ones to run. Editors see the findings in the ScholarOne workflow they already use.

Available now to publishers using ScholarOne Manuscripts.

Four checkpoints. One manuscript record.

Most integrity screening happens once, at submission. However, problems like review mills and coercive citations surface later, during review and revision. ReviewerZero checks at those steps too.

  • The manuscript

    At submission

    • Recomputes reported statistics and flags results that do not match
    • Finds duplicated data across numeric tables and checks images for manipulation
    • Checks references for retracted, unverifiable, or fabricated citations
    • Verifies author identities and affiliations
    • Flags passages likely to be AI-generated
    • Checks the reviewers the authors suggest for conflicts and topic fit

  • The reviewer

    Reviewer invited

    • Recent co-authorship with the authors
    • A new or inactive ScholarOne account
    • No publication record
    • A free email address given with an institution

  • The report

    Review submitted

    • Whether the report engages with the manuscript
    • AI-written text
    • Passages copied from other peer review reports
    • Requests to cite the reviewer's own unrelated work

  • The revision

    Revision arrives

    • Runs the submission checks again on the new version
    • Shows what was resolved, what remains open, and what is new
    • Checks the fixes claimed in the response letter against the revision

Every check, modular. Run only the ones you need.

One combined picture, no new system to learn.

ReviewerZero's findings sit next to ScholarOne's own signals, so editors see everything about a manuscript in one place.

  • In the panels editors already use

    Findings appear in ScholarOne's Integrity Checks panel and in a dedicated Review Quality panel, alongside ScholarOne's own Unusual Activity Detection signals.

  • Evidence one click away

    Editors can open a full report with the evidence behind each flag. Secure links let editors, reviewers, and authors each see the parts relevant to them, without a ReviewerZero account.

  • You choose what runs

    Turn checks on or off for each journal and each step, and change the selection as your needs change.
